Safety evaluation of the food enzyme leucyl aminopeptidase from non-genetically modified Aspergillus oryzae strain NZYM-EX.

ABSTRACT: The food enzyme leucyl aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.1) is produced with the non-genetically modified microorganism Aspergillus oryzae strain NZYM-EX by Novozymes A/S. The food enzyme is free from viable cells of the production organism. It is intended to be used in eight food manufacturing processes: processing of dairy products for the production of (1) flavouring preparations, (2) modified milk proteins; processing of plant- and fungal-derived products for the production of (3) protein hydrolysates, (4) soy sauce; processing of meat and fish products for the production of (5) protein hydrolysates; processing of cereals and other grains for the production of (6) baked products, (7) brewed products; (8) processing of yeast and yeast products. Dietary exposure to the food enzyme total o
